... The Radon transform (also known as the Hough transform) is formulated as a family of line integrals through a two-dimensional function. ... The Radon transform provides us with a simple means of computing the FF plane of the autochirplet transform, by using the Wigner distribution, and arriving at a transform space that tells us basically the same information as the chirplet FF-plane, except that we benefit from the greater resolution of the Wigner distribution. ...

This is not as trivial a question as one might think, since it is not enough to know the location with respect to the Earth and/or the Sun in some arbitrary coordinate system. One may have to consider things like differences between the solar equatorial plane and the Earth's orbital plane, the changing direction of Earth's spin axis during the year, and the magnetic dipole orientation. ...

The "grand sum" coadded HDF/IRIM images were geometrically transformed into registration with the 4096x4096 HDF/WFPC2 mosaics using the IRAF "geotran" task, and then rebinned back down to 1024x1024 format with appropriate pixel weighting from the exposure maps . ... The corrected astrometric zeropoint was propagated into the headers of the 4096x4096 HDF/WFPC2 mosaics, and the WCS was then transferred to the HDF/IRIM images after registration with the WFPC2 data. ...

... It uses the transformation parameters computed by the command ASTROMET/TRANSFORM . ... ASTROMET/COMPUTE computes the RA,Dec coordinates from X,Y coordinates directly from the transformation parameters, while it obtains X,Y from the RA,Dec ones in an iterative manner. Also note that the equinox of the computed coordinates is the same as the standard star catalogue (which is NOT necessarily the same as its epoch) and is 2000.0 in case the PPM catalogue is used. ...

However, whereas the Orrery is laid out in the ecliptic plane, constellations are defined in B1875 equatorial coordinates. Therefore for each adjacent pair of zodiacal constellations, we calculated the point at which the J2000 ecliptic intersects the boundary between the two constellations. ... numbers . plot . image . ...

JPEG 2000 is the new International Standard for digital image compression. ... Figure 1 is a flow diagram of the JPEG 2000 algorithm. ... For these applications, it is desirable to have a JPEG 2000 implementation that buffers up the smallest possible number of image lines before compression, and releases the compressed data directly to the downlink...

In this method the fields outside and inside a particle are represented by expansions in term of proper basis functions (practically always the vector spherical harmonics). Since the particle surface does not coincide with the coordinate surface, it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly, and the expansions are limited by a finite number of terms, and the boundary conditions are considered in a finite set of points (matching points). ...

Since the az, za is remaining fixed, the drift is being done in current not J2000 coordinates. ...

Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

... AstroCC is a coordinate conversion utility for astronomy. It accepts an object designation or the coordinates of an object and calculates coordinates in alternative systems, and at different dates, times, and locations. It also provides lunar and bright planet coordinates to aid in planning observations. ... BJD values may also be retrieved from http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/time/utc2bjd.html which is based on Eastman et al. ... Coordinate data are obtained from SIMBAD. ...
